You can get the gel type here at the dollar store in parkland mall. Both types work, but the gel is thicker. It has a red cap. Anything cyanocryalate is good, just look at the label. Loctite from home depot is same stuff

I tried the super glue. It worked good on sps and lps but trying to do any mushrooms or toadstools and I found there was too much water to stick. The epoxy didn't seem to have that problem.

Sorry I should have mentioned that I only use it on SPS, or LPS.

I have been wondering what type would work for attaching zoo's to frag plugs? I have some of the epoxy putty, but I can't see that working very well.

Also as an aside, how is the best way to frag zoo's from a colony and then attach them to frag plugs?

Not intending to hijack, just expand the scope a little bit...

i have the two part epoxy and find it difficult at times. try sticking it in the microwave briefly once mixed together, and it should cure it faster. too long and it goes hard though
